Transform Zoho Books into a Complete WMS
Zoho Books and Zoho Inventory are popular cloud-based ERP systems for SMEs and e-commerce businesses. While excellent for accounting and order management, they lack the warehouse and shop floor capabilities needed for operational traceability.
IoTReady adds the missing layer—turning Zoho into a complete WMS with barcode/RFID tracking, automated stock movements, real-time inventory sync, and order fulfillment workflows.
WMS Capabilities
Receiving, putaway, picking, packing, dispatch—all tracked in real-time
Real-Time Sync
Instant stock updates to Zoho Books/Inventory as operations happen
API Documentation: IoTReady uses official Zoho Books and Zoho Inventory APIs with OAuth 2.0. View Zoho Books API docs →

OAuth 2.0 Security
IoTReady uses Zoho's OAuth 2.0 authentication—the industry-standard secure method:
- ✅ No username/password storage—authorization via token exchange
- ✅ Granular permissions—request only needed API scopes
- ✅ Automatic token refresh—seamless session management
- ✅ Revocable access—customers can revoke at any time from Zoho settings
Setup: One-time OAuth consent during integration setup. Customers authorize IoTReady to access their Zoho data via Zoho's secure authorization flow.
How Zoho Integration Works
1. OAuth Setup (One-Time)
During initial setup, customer authorizes IoTReady to access Zoho data:
- Customer clicks "Connect to Zoho" in OTP settings
- Redirected to Zoho OAuth consent screen
- Customer authorizes required scopes (Inventory, Books)
- IoTReady receives OAuth token for API access
- Token stored securely, refreshed automatically
2. Master Data Sync
IoTReady syncs Zoho master data to OTP for validation:
- Items (SKUs) from Zoho Inventory
- Warehouses and bin locations
- Sales orders and purchase orders
- Contacts (vendors, customers)
- Scheduled sync (hourly or real-time webhooks)
3. Warehouse Operations with Barcode/RFID
Operators use barcode scanners or RFID readers for all warehouse activities:
- Scan incoming items → OTP validates against Zoho PO → directs putaway
- Pick sales order → scan items → verify against Zoho Sales Order
- Pack items → scan into shipping box → generate label
- Cycle count → RFID bulk read → reconcile with Zoho Inventory
4. Automatic Sync to Zoho
OTP posts transactions to Zoho in real-time or batched:
- Receiving complete → POST Inventory Adjustment (increase stock)
- Picking complete → POST Package (mark items shipped)
- Dispatch → PUT Sales Order (update status to Shipped)
- Invoice trigger → POST Invoice in Zoho Books
- Returns → POST Inventory Adjustment (return to stock)
